An up-and-coming blues teen star will perform at Malvern's Winter Gardens during the summer.

Toby Lee, 19, who earned the title of Young Blues Musician of the Year in 2023, has been announced as Jools Holland’s special guest for more than 60 shows.

Toby will play at Winter Gardens on June 6 and will play at least 40 of his own shows across the country.

He featured as Zack Mooneyham in the first West End production of School of Rock and shared stages with blues stars including Joe Bonamassa, Toby's hero.

He has also partnered with Gibson Guitars since he was 10 and is endorsed by Blackstar Amplification and D’Addario Strings.

The teenager recently spent time in Nashville filming for Gibson as well as travelling to Texas at the invitation of the Buddy Holly Foundation for songwriting workshops.
